Celtic fans stepped up their protests against the board in the build-up to kick-off against Falkirk on Wednesday night.

Despite the return of Martin O’Neill to the Celtic Park dugout for the first time in 20 years, fans were still keen to direct their anger towards the board.

Fans have protested at several games this season and have demanded that the trio of Dermot Desmond, Peter Lawwell and Michael Nicholson to leave the club.

Now that Brendan Rodgers has resigned, supporters feel that there is nowhere to hide and fans made their feelings known before kick-off.

Celtic fans set off flares outside Parkhead as part of ongoing protest

Celtic Fans Collective sent a clear message to Desmond before the game on Wednesday night, as well as confirming that they would be protesting.

They stayed true to their word and were joined by thousands outside the stadium in the build-up to kick-off.

Fans could be heard singing ‘All Celtic fans against the board’, which has been customary over the last few weeks.

Some even set off pyro and flares as more and more turned up to join the movement.
